The lima beans you can have for yourself. They're the one "vegetable" I refuse to touch since childhood.

I have to agree with you - YUK.

But have you ever tried baking them? Make a sauce like you would for regular "baked beans" - molasses, brown sugar, tomato sauce or a mild BBQ sauce, chopped onion and toss them in the crock pot or oven. Delish! I detest limas any other way but this.

I don't think he'd even bother to eat them that way!

Oddly warm weather today, most of the remaining ground snow evaporated in heavy fog, but as I am now able to eat peppers, I was very excited, as that now means stewed tomatoes are just fine! Made a whole mess of bowtie pasta with stewed tomatoes, oregano and basil, with parmesan cheese on top - anyone want some?

It's very exciting when I can eat things I have had to avoid for so long!

We were fogged in here all day yesterday - it never did clear out. This morning it was 61 at 5 a.m. - unreal for mid-January. Temps dropping thru the day tho, and the 10 day forecast has us back to more normal temps in the 30's and 40's - still not real cold. I'm still waiting for that big snowstorm!

Coffee anyone?

Bone cold here tonight. Going to be 17 but that's better than the 6 it was last night. Still have a bit of snow on the ground which makes it colder. Have a big pot of hot chocolate on. I'll share!!!

Well, as anyone who knows me knows, I have been battling what I thought were food allergies and intolerances for many years. I parted company with my gall bladder this past May, and have slowly, carefully been testing various food that I had awful reactions to or tested as allergic to in the past. And a few hours ago, I had my second "test" and no reaction to .... garlic! My stomach feels fine, absolutely normal! Yesterday was a little bit in some takeout, and this evening I had some salsa that had crushed garlic and chopped garlic in it! And peppers, of course, which is something I finally got the courage to test and clear right before Christmas.

Victory! Wheee! Turns out lots of people's gall bladders don't like garlic, and now that I am gall bladder free, it is safe for me again! Which of course opens up practically half the supermarket, as you wouldn't believe how many things have garlic in them until your body rejects it outright!

Just had to share the news with all of you!

And yes, some things are still verboten/evil, which is why it can go weeks between me testing anything.
